Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of CH Products Flight Sim Yoke USB ( 200-615 )Customer Review: Very realistic! Summary: 5 Stars
This yoke very closely simulates the feel and function of the controls in a small Cessna (150 or 152). For those aircraft with variable pitch props the three levers on top replicate throttle, mixture and pitch very nicely. The only trouble I've had is when I used it on a smooth-top table with the top edge rounded (about 3/4" radius). The whole yoke assymbly tended to pull loose from the table when pulling on the "wheel" to near-full deflection. I attached the yoke assymbly to a piece of plywood, then clamped the ply to the table. This worked well and is not a problem that I attribute to the yoke. For those who fly the WW2 combat flight sims, try this yoke in place of a joy stick. My dogfight kill ratio almost doubled, and aerobatics are more fun!
Customer Review: ch flight yoke Summary: 5 Stars
its as real as it gets, as a real pilot since 1984. is works the same as in real flight
the only thing i forgot was to trim up prior to landing...
i landed on the numbers instead of the 1000 ft marker.
i would like to get the pedels, however i do not want the slide type, i perfer the real pedals push down for rudder and toe brakes, like real airplanes...
i will wait untill they make the correct types,,,(CH)..??
The megascenery usa 2005 ,for the pacfic northwest. is accurate as it can get, i quickly found my 5 acres, house ,barn, and the 1/4 mile road i built i was overwelmed by the scenery,,
it works well with 2002 ,2004 flight simulator.
Customer Review: Could be happier... Summary: 1 Stars
It's really annoying that the makers of this product provide no mounting instructions at all. No pictures, no hints....so I'm looking at this yoke that should mount to the front of my computer desk.....hmmm..let's see, there's two very long screw bolts and a bracket of sorts for each one..but either I'm an idiot or this is a really, really bad design. So I hit the Web and lo' and behold I'm not the only one with some real questions about this. I read and read and all the stories tell about how users have come up with their own solutions for mounting this thing effectively. Users share their experiences retooling their computer desks, buying lumber to create fantastic desk mounts...
Customer Review: Great FSX Accessory Summary: 5 Stars
After being a joystick pilot dating all the way back to FS98, I finally upgraded to the CH Products Yoke and Pedals this year. I should have done this years ago, the fun of desktop flying with these products is very much enhanced. I am a real Private Pilot and I use FSX to plan and practice all my real life flights before I go. The addition of the CH Products Yoke and Pedals has added another dimension of reality to my practice sessions, and I truly believe these sessions enhance the safety of my real flying. This product has the solid look and feel of quality hardware the minute you take it out of the box. The yoke motion is smooth and repeatable, and very natural to me.
Customer Review: Very sturdy and reliable flight simulation yoke Summary: 5 Stars
This CH yoke has been extremely useful. It works very well with FSX. I use a Win 7 computer and installation was just 'plug and play'. The only disadvantage I found was that the elevator trim adjusting wheel is both relatively hard to move and has very sharp indentations (from the plastic casting). After three days of play I had a blister in my thumb. I changed the configuration using other buttons for this purpose and used a file to remove those hard edges. That has been my only complain, which compared with the sturdiness and reliability of this product is a minor thing.
I consider this to be a very good product with a high benefit to cost.
